Polymer Clay Covered Crochet Hooks

I covered the handles of these brand new crochet hooks with pieces of my own Polymer Clay canes. It was then sanded and polished to a high sheen. As you can see the more colorful the better :-)
The handle feels nice and smooth and makes it easier to handle. The colors will never wear off.

DIY Earring display!I had my first show and didn't like the way I displayed my earrings with these flimsy little cards, and the self made rack that kept on falling over.This is what I came up with and I am very happy with the way it turned out.For the base I used scrap clay that I always have lying around. I covered it with a nice sheet of clay, went to the nearest Home Depot and got myself some very sturdy wire, still soft enough to bend though. I bend it into shape, and stuck them into the clay, baked it( for the clay to harden) and it was ready to go. It fits 24 pair of earrings and the base is heavy enough so it wont fall over.

Colorful Pens!I made these pens for my next craft fair. The pens are hand sanded and polished to a high sheen.The ink cartridge is replaceable. I used a BIC round stick pen. Just pull out the black front, and replace it with a new one.

About Me

Living for over 30 Years in Berlin (Germany) I moved to the US in 1998, together with my family of 5 (3 kids, Hubby and Jake-the dog). I was always involved in some kind of crafts, not always Polymer Clay but painting in oil (all the pictures in our house are self made), scrap booking, art projects with my kids and our girl scouts teambut since the beginning of 2007 I'm totally into Polymer Clay.
All the canes I am using are 100% hand crafted and designed by me. I am using Premo clay for my creations. I have now 2 etsy shops with more than 1000 sales each, and are quite happy about that.
